12. I think he sees it as a necessary burden for being "Trump"

I picture his mother telling him from an early age "don't worry, Donnie, that the kids don't like you because they're just jealous of all that you have, that you're so smart, so handsome"....yada yada yada. I think he truly believes that he's good looking, that he's smart, and that he and only he can do certain things.

He's never learned how to develop interpersonal relationships. Any interaction that he has with ANY other human is because he wants something from that person or wants to dominate that person, and when they have nothing left that he wants/needs, he discards them.

I have no doubt that all that has been reported about him in the Epstein files is true and more. I can totally picture him watching someone die without an ounce of compassion or understanding. In his world, it is ALL about him.

He's a pompous ass, and one of these days he's going to get what's coming to him. I hope I'll be there to see it happen because I would enjoy that.
